Arranging my holiday reads on my kindle and wondering how I managed without it in the past! Are you a kindle or a tree book reader?
Arranging my holiday reads on my kindle and wondering how I managed without it in the past! Are you a kindle or a tree book reader?
Both!
Both xx
Kindle. X
I much prefer to have a ‘tree book’ in my hands but absolutely detest pretentiously thick books. For travelling, I take my iPad with the Kindle app. As I write this, I M in a hotel with my iPad.
I struggle with a heavy book.
I read books in any format, as long as they are well written.
I have an Eco reader which is not made anymore. The beauty of this is that I can put folders into folders into folders. Being a retired librarian I wanted to be able to organise books properly.
What is a tree book?
Paperback @Sharon x
Sorry Sharon . By tree book II meant paperback or hardback book.
@Susan, thanks for letting me know. You’d think that I would have been able to work this term out.
Both
Both. But app on tablet & I can’t find my kindle which I take on hols so I’m taking paperbacks with me. I never usually read signed books but making exception for 1 I won recently by lovely @Mel it’s coming to Spain with me. Plane & bedroom only. No suncream allowed on that baby ??
Hope you find your kindle. I am hyperventilating at the thought of it
Hope you find your Kindle, enjoy your book, lovely and your holiday of course. xx
@Susan I’ve been searching for 2 month & cant find it anywhere. Think it’s gonna be left until redecorate now. So bloody annoying. Coz tablet overheats if in sun & kindle was fab for hols!
Thanks @Mel. Not holding my breath for kindle esp decorating takes us forever lol x
🙂 xx
Use the kindle on the iPad most of the time or my actual kindle….I also have the kindle app on my phone for those occasions where I don’t have either of the others
But my not so secret guilty pleasure is a new hard back book.
Kindle, im visually impaired and cant read tree books ?
I have had to adjust the font on some books Dawn. I am the other way I can’t use audible because of hearing impairment. Do you use audible?
I do use audible when my vision is too bad to read at all but its not the same as actually reading. I just use a massive font ?
Because of illness I find it difficult to read and hold an actual book now. And I can’t hold a book while lying down. I can hold my eco reader though without any problems.
So glad they invented ebook readers! A life changer for me
Both x
I read both
Both, but I do prefer a paperback. I get a lot of books to review on my kindle and it is useful when I am in a lot of pain as it’s lighter to hold.
And easier to turn pages
Especially as I have the Voyage with page turn pressure on the side ?
Tree book all the way.
Both
Both, but I prefer my Kindle.
Both x
Both, but mostly kindle!
I use the Kindle app on my iPad – I really don’t have the space for any more tree books at the moment! Sadly, I have M E and have not been able to concentrate on reading for a while, so rely heavily on podcasts at the moment! #majorbummer
I’m sorry to hear that, have you tried audio books?
A couple of times, but I have about 400 waiting on my Kindle app!!! I love true crime podcasts though – trouble is, I still keep finding “must download” books!
There are a lot of good TC podcasts, which are your favorites?
Oh boy! Minds of Madness, True Crime Fan Club, Apex and Abyss, My Favorite Murder, True Crime Island, Already Gone, True Crime Sisters, True Crime Brewery, True Crime All The Time and TCATT Unsolved, Casefile, S’laughter, They Walk Among Us, In Sight, Killafornia Dreaming, Murder Under the Midnight Sun, Once Upon A Crime, True Crime Garage -and then some!!!

Kindle, save PB’s to be signed or just because I want a hard copy of the book.
I do both kindle purely for the amount of books I read on holiday I would sacrifice clothing to squeeze in an extra book but I do love the feel of a tree book ??
Both.x
Gotta be a tree book.
Love the smell of a new book — what does a kindle smell of?
More space in my house.
The Future.
More money in my bank account.
Convenience.
Both.
Both but paperback on holiday. We are in Spain at the moment. Loads of people reading but haven’t see one Kindle
That’s what I noticed last time we were there. We’re going in 6 weeks can’t bloody wait lol have a great time x
@Theresa you have a great time. We go home tomorrow xx
I’m so excited. Just never wanna come back lol safe journey Gail x
Both,but I love my books the best
For me it has got to be a tree book
Love the feel and smell of a tree book,but use kindle as can adjust font for my poor old eyes!
both but always take kindle on holiday that way i don’t take up luggage space with books
I love both – Kindle is great for travel, but you can’t beat the smell of a book!
Kindle all the time for me, never read books now 😉
I always take a couple of paperbacks
I like the tablet because I can make the print bigger and I don’t get eye strain.
Read both x
Has only been kindle for a while now, mainly because of ability to change font size and can read in bed early morning without switching room lights on.
Kindle Paperwhite definitely handy in the night for the back light
And in the sunlight @Gail.
Kindle because I can’t read books now.
I also like to get books signed by the author.
Both. With equal success ????
My kindle has freed up a ridiculous amount of space in my suitcase. I can now wear clothes as well as read on holiday ?
I’ve not bought a physical book now for over five years.
Since my late husband bought me my kindle shortly before he died, I haven’t bought a physical book….. hundreds of books at the click of the button! Suits me down to the ground although at first I didn’t want to lose the feeling of opening a page …… x
Both, but prefer dead trees.
I have a kindle app on my iPad or I read paper books.
On holidays a Kindle as I would exceed weight allowance with just books!
Kindle, travel to much to carry an actual book .
Both. But l do love the smell of a new book.
Kindle for holidays every time – everything else adds to the weight of your case. Bring back loads of paperbacks though as I can’t get them in Sicily where I live. All our holidays are in UK so I tour all the charity shops to find what I want.
I read both, but my arthritis is getting worse so I’m finding books quite difficult to hold for any length of time.
I got a kindle for Christmas a few years ago and love it.
I have at least tree tree books on the go….
Kindle these days – saving the planet ?xxx
Just reading A Deadly Thaw first edition first print just need @sarah to sign it
both
Both!
